I am working on completing a Work Study Course for The Book of Geneses Chapter 1 and 2
Purpose of this study course guide:
The purpose of this study course guide is twofold.
First, it is to guide you through this course of study about
the Book of Genesis Chapter 1 and 2. It is to help you better understand what a
“creation story” is, and what the creation story of the Bible or Torah is.
The Bible is a collection of Books. The Book of Genesis is
the first book in the torah and bible. The “creation story” or the story of how
the heavens and the earth were first created are found in Genesis 1 and 2.
From a Hebrew perspective the Torah, which is originally
written in Hebrew, is a book of science and mathematics that contains codes,
formulas, symbols, as well as instruction and guidance. The Study of the Book
of Genesis helps to answer questions like, “where did I come from”, “how was I
created”, “how was man and woman created”, “how old is man, hold old is the
earth, civilization, and existence”!
The Book of Genesis teaches that creation was made in seven
days and provides an open opportunity for students and wise people to study and
review daily, what was done on each day of creation. By studying the Book of
Genesis and its first chapters on a daily basis serves as a reminder that God (the
father) is a creator and so are his offspring (son’s daughters of God). It is
reminder about being productive on a daily basis.
The purpose of this daily study is for the reader to reflect
on productivity, being productive, what that looks like on a high level, and
how it can be done in our individual life.
Second, this course of study is to help you get comfortable
with reading and studying divine scripture and to get comfortable with
metaphors, similes, comparisons, concepts, and the many different ways of
thinking. Religious scripture can be read from many different viewpoints, and
it is important to understand that fact, but also to take charge of
understanding you own thinking and viewpoint.
The questions asked will help you with this!
Genesis 1King James Version
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
